By that same logic, advancing at 2 PM compared to 8 PM is no difference in work and has no reason to not be done since every export that is going to be in is already in.
It also assumes that we have someone available to sim at 2 PM. I really dont understand the constant need that the people in this league feel to bitch about things.
If nobody is around to sim, then that's one thing. If someone is able to do it, but choose not to because but they say there's no point, is another. We've all waited almost 72 hours, I think most people would agree that there is a definite point to advancing and seeing what free agents we get.
There is no advantage to advancing now vs at 8 PM EST when we're still not moving until tomorrow after that anyway.
There's also no disadvantage, though. If people have to work tonight or tomorrow, it gives them a bit more time to look at it, so to say there is no advantage is false.
I can't speak for anyone but myself but I can say that I am eagerly awaiting this advance and would love to tinker with my team because I'm depending on some key guys signing with me. All the exports are in, I'm assuming, so I'd love to see the file asap. But if nobody else feels that way and wants to wait longer, then I guess it's a mute point.
You're only saying that because you know my logic is correct. The weakness in 24 hour advances is that some people work a night then a day shift the next day and only have a limited amount of time that night. Also, there's a rule for the league saying that if all exports are in, the league will advance immediately. If there's nobody available to sim, that's one thing. If it's just not being done for the sake of not being done, that seems pointless to me. I know how simple it is to do a sim, especially in the offseason. There's no point in acting like it's some difficult procedure to do.
Your logic is no more correct then mine or Tylers. The fact of the matter is, there is a lot of "house keeping" that needs to be done with the file since the file was moved over to the new server, its not simply just a "regular" offseason sim. Its easier for me (since its Friday and its my sim) to do all that on our regularly scheduled time tonight then it is to try and force it to be done now. Not to mention making sure I can get the new accounts_gm.dat file out to everyone and making sure everything is working as intended with the move. Instead of just accepting things the way they are, you have to constantly bitch and moan when things dont go the way you want them, when in reality you have no fucking clue why things are they way they are. Here I am now wasting 5 mins of my day explaining them to you when you could have just not said anything and accepted that the sim will indeed not happen until 8 PM EST tonight.
You do realize that the majority of the time that I say something in return is because of your cocky attitude you have every time somebody asks/challenges something, right? All you do is say, "We can't because there's nobody available to sim," and it's conversation over. But you have to throw in some line at the end of everything you say in an attempt to upset someone, and that is going to make people reply to you.
This whole conversation started, because you made a pointless remark because you were unhappy that we were waiting until 8 PM tonight to sim, like that was going to change anything at all. I appreciate constructive feedback and questioning, but when its the same people constantly bitching because things dont go their way, thats different.
If you think that I was the only one who would prefer an earlier sim if possible, then you are mistaken. But yes, agreed that this is just turning into a waste of time.
Do you not think I want to see what FA's I signed as well? Do you not think I'm excited about this sim as well? If I could easily just go ahead and sim it now and have everything working great, I would.
Wait. Did PAgamer07 become NeuroticTruth ???? Accounts get mixed up in the TSO reboot? Shaun Mason is up to something here. I can tell.
So it took about 5 back and forth posts between NT and Roggie for NT to finally say something meaningful. And these two guys have leadership roles in this league?!?!?!?! Please god someone save this league. And i'm being dead serious.
Just when i was starting to get in your corner for increased responsibilities you break my heart. Now i must go cry in a pillow and listen to Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker" only to lift my head to rap Jay Z's verse in the remix.
For those of you not in the Skype chat.. We are working on getting the file working, the move to the other server is providing some hiccups.
